SafeSpot

Inspiration

As people are starting to go outside again, whether necessary or not, there needs to be a system for citizens to know the risks of certain locations.

What it does

Safe Spot provides users with a live-updated heat map that shows the infection risk of various locations. Data is uploaded by hospitals and health officials about the locations that infected patients/high risk patients have visited recently, as well as how long they spent at that location. Using high-accuracy geolocation API, entries about each patient’s location history and time spent can be easily added and stored in a global database. Safe Spot then compiles this data such that the user can view any location on earth and select a location to view its risk factor.

How we built it

It also includes an Online Platform for Researchers, Students, health officials, and Doctors to discuss entities on Covid19; and be aware and alert about the new symptoms, new discoveries.

What's next for SafeSpot

The next steps for Safe Spot could include an automated verification system to verify hospitals and health officials, so that manual account creation is not necessary.

Safe Spot could also implement some AI to recognize infection patterns and make more accurate risk assessments.

It would also be useful for Safe Spot to be integrated with location services like Google Location History, which would aid hospitals in creating a location history for a patient.
